Sober

Cut my wrists and smoke up my eyes
Wish I didn't always live with these lies
It's funny how I drink and smoke
Just too keep it all down I choke
Because I fucked up ever time we spoke
And now all we are and ever were is a joke
So I'll sit here and smoke this weed and take a toke
From that cigar
Order a new drink like this is a bar
But losing you hurt the most by far
I can kill my liver
Black my lungs
But climbing this addiction ladder rungs
Won't bring back your love not even a sliver
So I say how I'm cold here and I shiver
In 94 degree
I'm as cold as I can be
Without you in my company.
Love me tender love me soft
Why the fuck did I just let you walk off
I should have fought harder for our love
Instead of letting you free like a dove
You were my world my everything
The reason I live and sing
And I risked it all and lost
Never realizing the cost
And how much it hurt you
That in a way I was untrue.
I can't keep trying
Cuz inside I'm dying
I'm fighting a war that's already over
No luck can change this not even a clover.
It's really over.
Man I wish I could stay sober.
